A3: It is designed for DIN-rail mounting, which allows for easy installation and removal.

Q4: Is hot swapping supported with the TU834?

A4: Yes, the terminal unit allows for the replacement of I/O modules without disconnecting field wiring or shutting down the system.

Q5: What I/O modules are compatible with TU834?

A5: It supports a wide range of S800 I/O modules including DI801, DO801, AI801, AO801, and others.

Q6: What are the temperature tolerances of the TU834?

A6: It operates from -40°C to +70°C and can be stored between -40°C and +85°C.

Q7: Is there any diagnostic functionality in TU834?

A7: While diagnostics are mainly handled by the I/O modules, the TU834 supports status indication via connected modules and system interfaces.

Q8: What type of field connections does the TU834 offer?

A8: It provides pluggable terminals which can be either screw-type or spring-clamp depending on field wiring preferences.

Q9: Does the TU834 require any special configuration?

A9: No special configuration is needed. It acts as a passive unit and is recognized through the I/O module and system integration.

Q10: Can I mix different I/O modules with a single TU834?
